Display cuts off numbers: Has anybody found a way to get around this or is it just an inferior product?

I noticed that too as I use large font option, however it is only a display problem in my case, the numbers are there. If you put your cursor on the field and pan you might be able to see the rest of the number. I do in my display.

Yes. It is possible to change the display (within limits) to display what you want.

You might want to try the following using the Screen Settings in the Settings Menu (pp29-30 of the manual): Wide Mode - Full Auto Wide - On 4:3 Default (grayed out) Display - Full Pixel Horizontal Center - 0 Vertical Center - +3 This seems to resolve the "over-scan" issues with 1080i. The downside, depending on your point of view, is that everything is displayed in its true aspect ratio (there are a variety of wide screen ratios used even on the same channel.) This could be a distraction, though I got use to it very quickly and don't think about any more. Anyway, give it a try. You can always change it back if you don't like the results.

Mine goes all the way to 149 and cuts off...That's right where it is supposed to be.Sorry, no problems with mine.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

The thing is that it gives you the same picture on each display.kinda disappointing........Good Luck.and if you do find something that lets you split signals, Please let me know.JJ

Not sure about that but I hardly used mine and the display just went blank and became totally unusable - wont buy another again.

That happened to me too and I returned it. When I got the other one the display worked fine.

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

I just got this and have the same problem..... there are NO numbers on the screen to set anything with. I bought a new battery and installed that, but had the same results.... nothing

You have to hold down Function and then Press Numlk to turn off the numbers lock (blue led over 1 on right top panel)

I know the display times out, but it always comes back when I press mode. I'm not much help to you, sorry!

Your display should have a blue background and should be super easy to read. Perhaps try replacing the battery and if that doesn't work, I'd request an exchange.

It's worth a try, because the machine tries to load the firmware at startup. If the firmware has become corrupted, then it would make sense that the display could have issues. I suggest trying it, along with following the steps that are outlined in the manual for firmware update. You might have to follow them blindly, but it's not hard. See here: http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/download/software/h2.php Better to at least try it, rather than live with a paper weight.

If you can only display on an external monitor, then I'd call it DOA. Send it back for a replacement. Acer or Amazon should have you set. Just make sure you register the Acer on their website if you plan to get a new one from them.

Not in my experience. I haven't seen it operate a display with the duration you'd need.

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.
